I'm considering picking up a '65 Midget as a fun car for the summer until I'm finished my Lotus Seven clone. Its got the 1100cc motor the runs and drives. Needs some electrical and paint work. No rust according to owner. Most of the interior is missing. Its driven around his yard but not much else so I figure some brake work will need to be done. Some spare parts are included including a 1275 engine (miuns a piston), 71 transmision, wiring harness, seat frames. There is a parts car - 65 AH Sprite with no engine, tranny or interior. I'm hoping this parts car could donate a few bits to my Seven project as well.
I likely won't do much in the way of paint work but get it to drive-able and presentable state. Maybe Miata seats if they fit. Maybe go with the 1275 engine too.
So my questions are:
are special things to look for?
are interior bits hard/expensive to come by?
came I use the 1275 block/head with the 1100cc bits (with the 71 tranny and a 1100 piston)?
general comments?
Thanks,
Dave
